First Church of Christ, Scientist Building is an historic former Christian Science church located at 1519 East Denny Way / 1841 16th Avenue on the corner of East Denny Way and 16th Avenue in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Designed in the Classical Revival style, it was built of Bedford limestone between 1906 and 1909. Established in August 1896, First Church first held services in various rented buildings or halls until building its first church building on the corner of 6th Avenue and Marion Street. This was completed in time for its first service on Easter Sunday, April 7, 1901. This was soon outgrown and in November 1906 a contract was signed to purchase the Denny Way property. In August 1908, services began in a temporary wooden structure that was built on the completed foundation of the new church. On January 17, 1977, the building was declared a City of Seattle historic landmark. In 2006 the congregation made the decision to move to the South Lake Union neighborhood to be in a more active urban location. The building on East Denny Way was sold to a developer who has since converted it into townhouse project called The Sanctuary. First Church of Christ, Scientist, Seattle, now holds services at 900 Thomas Street and is still an active branch of the Christian Science Mother Church.

First Methodist Protestant Church of Seattle
First Methodist Protestant Church of Seattle

First Methodist Protestant Church of Seattle (Capitol Hill United Methodist Church, Catalysis) is an historic building, originally built and used as a church, at 128 16th Avenue East in Seattle, Washington. It was built in 1906 and added to the National Register in 1993. The church that was originally housed in this building, First Methodist Protestant Church of Seattle, later known as Capitol Hill United Methodist Church, was founded by Rev. Daniel Bagley in 1865 and met in buildings in downtown Seattle until the construction of this building on Capitol Hill. In 1991, due to declining membership and increasing costs of building upkeep, the church moved out of the building. The building was renovated from a church to an office building in 2004, and is currently owned and occupied by Catalysis Corporation, a Seattle-based digital marketing agency. Neither the church nor the building should be confused with the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Seattle, which was founded in 1853 (the first church organized in Seattle), which was also once housed in an historic building (at Fifth Avenue and Marion Street in downtown Seattle) built in 1906. Prior to the construction of the 1906 buildings, when both congregations met downtown, they were disambiguated by calling the Methodist Episcopal church the "Little White Church" and the Methodist Protestant one the "Little Brown Church". When the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Protestant Church became a single denomination in 1939, the congregation that met in the Capitol Hill building that is the subject of this article changed their name from "First Methodist Protestant" to "Capitol Hill Methodist", while the downtown Methodist Episcopal congregation became simply "First Methodist Church"; decades later, another denominational merger led to both adding "United" to their names.

KSTW

KSTW (channel 11) is a television station licensed to Tacoma, Washington, United States, serving the Seattle area with programming from The CW. Owned and operated by the CBS News and Stations group, the station maintains studios on East Madison Street in Seattle's Cherry Hill neighborhood, and its transmitter is located on Capitol Hill east of downtown. As the first station to sign on in Tacoma (and second in the Seattle metropolitan area overall), KSTW initially signed on in March 1953 as KTNT-TV, the area's CBS affiliate under the ownership of the Tacoma News Tribune. The station lost the affiliation when Seattle-licensed KIRO-TV signed on in 1958; both stations shared the affiliation for two years after their owners agreed to settle an antitrust lawsuit over the switch. The station became KSTW in 1974 when it was acquired by a forerunner of Gaylord Broadcasting; it subsequently became one of the strongest independent stations in the country over two decades, reaching regional superstation status with widespread carriage on cable television systems in Washington and neighboring states/provinces. KSTW rejoined CBS in 1995 during a nationwide affiliation shuffle; two years later, the station became a UPN owned-and-operated station via a three-way deal involving it and KIRO-TV, which led it to become that of The CW when UPN shut down in 2006. KSTW is available on cable television to Canadian customers in southwestern British Columbia on numerous cable providers such as Shaw Cable and TELUS Optik TV in Vancouver, Victoria, Penticton and Kelowna.
